(CNN) Sometimes a celeb will tell a story about a fellow star which is just too delightful not to share.
Such is the case with singer Jill Scott and her experience with legendary singer Patti LaBelle.
LaBelle was "so lovely," Scott said about their visit, and asked her if she was hungry.
The singer/actress decided she would be polite, using what she called the "kid tactics" of eating the spinach and quickly following it with the "melt in your mouth" brisket to avoid tasting the vegetable.
